The Secret Fiancée (The Windsors, #5)

by Catharina Maura

“My love for you isn’t transactional. It isn’t conditional.”

“You are what I need,” I whisper. “Every second of every day.”

“Try it, Akshay. Take those articles of yours to the press. Let’s see which of my family members gets to you first.”

“How dare they?” she snaps, fury rolling off her in waves. “How dare they touch one of my kids? Invade our homes?”

I stare at the women in the room, equal parts in awe and terrified of how swiftly and ruthlessly they acted. Their husbands seem to share my feelings, because they stare in shock.

“Have you lost your fucking mind? If you ever threaten your wife like that again, I’ll fucking incapacitate you.”
